The Board of Education allows for cross-zone and tuition students when space is available at a school. The priority deadline to submit an application to cross zone was Monday, April 15, 2019. Submissions after this date were assigned a lower priority.

Important Notes:

Bus Transportation will not be provided for cross-zone/tuition students.

If enrollment numbers change for a school and reach the maximum class size or grade band averages established by the State of Tennessee and/or the Cleveland Board of Education, cross-zone/tuition students will not be allowed, even if these numbers change after the school year begins.

A cross-zone/tuition student must maintain satisfactory attendance, behavior, and effort to remain in that school.

Both Cleveland Middle and Hopewell Elementary have earlier start times than Candy’s Creek Cherokee Elementary. Those schools start at 7:50 am and our new school will start at 8:30 am. That will help alleviate some issues. Also, we have worked closely with TDOT and the City of Cleveland to install a dedicated turn lane into our school. Furthermore, our driveway and drop-off lane is lengthy allowing many cars to que off Highway 60 and onto our property. TDOT will be working to widen Highway 60, but this will take time. We will have a crossing guard stationed each morning and afternoon to help with traffic flow.

Yes. We are utilizing a program called GuideK12 which allows our committees and board members to review demographics for all students in all zones. That information will be a major factor as we look at redrawing our attendance zones.

All committees are made up of individuals ranging from district staff, teachers, principals, school board members, PTO Presidents, and City of Cleveland staff. Our committee process allows for input from many involved in various ways in our schools. However, the elected Board of Education members are the final decision makers regarding any new zones.
